Real MadridNews

Real Madrid’s injury woes worsened following the international break as the French striker Karim Benzema joined James Rodriguez, Danilo and Pepe on the sick bed. A press release from Real Madrid states, “following tests carried out today on Karim Benzema by Real Madrid’s medical services, a muscle injury in the biceps femoris in his left leg has been confirmed. His recovery will continue to be assessed.” He is expected to miss the action for three weeks.

Benzema is the top scorer for Real in the La Liga this season. Rafael Benitez is likely to rest some more key players, most probably Toni Kroos with an eye on the crucial Champions League fixture against Paris Saint Germain later in the month.

A win against Levante could catapult Real Madrid to the top position of the league.

Real MadridPredictions

4-4-2 formation likely

Goalkeeper: Keylor Navas

Defenders: Raphaël Varane, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo, Daniel Carvajal

Midfielders: Casemiro, Luka Modric, Gareth Bale, Mateo Kovacic

Attacker/Wing: Cristiano Ronaldo, Isco

Levante News

Levante has managed just one win in the season so far. That win came in the last league match against table topper Villarreal. It must give them confidence. However, they cannot tame the mighty Real Madrid with confidence alone. Their H2H record against the Madrid giants is poor. They are on an eight-match winning streak against Real.
